And THIS is how AD starts for me.

Greetings all!

Just wanted to share a couple of pictures of my latest acquisitions, or should I say my first purchases (and undoubtedly far from my last)! Letting my whiskers grow a little before my first shave, but I am REALLY looking forward to it.

Pictured:

- Edwin Jagger Kelvin safety razor
- Omega 10049 professional boar brush
- Proraso Green Tea and Oat shaving soap
- Thayers Unscented Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera

I must admit, this EJ razor is a BEAUTIFUL piece of hardware.

It's really unfortunate for my wife that I work just a few blocks away from WCS.

STOP NOW! Put down the credit card. Stop looking at beautiful stuff you don't need. Quit while you're ahead--you've got everything you need for a lifetime of great shaving (minus a bit of soap and blades going forward.) I speak with experience:25+ DE's, over 80 straights, 20+ soaps and enough blades for my lifetime, your lifetime, and the rest of my two teenage boys years of shaving to come. (Mmmm, Feathers...)
Or not. I mean, you gotta have a stainless.... Oh! And a vintage... maybe 2. Never mind...

Bonsai tree? Are there different kinds? I need them all!

Awesome setup! And I am extremely jealous of how close you are to wcs.

 

[BSAGuy]

Very nice. You're off to a good start.

 

[Thirston]

That's very similar to the setup I started with. Would you like me to post a picture of what I've accumulated over the last 6 months? I will... I'll do it... You better hope I don't... but I will if you want me to.

Very nice, just means your one of us for sure!

 

[Macbreezy]

Where did you get the handle on that razor?

Actually it looks like an EJ Kelvin which is exclusive to Amazon, I just got one myself.

The EJ DE3D14 looks like this.

 

[Screech8710]

That's a good soap. It lathers very easily and smells fantastic. And a very nice razor, love the handle.

Enjoy your newest acquisitions.

She's fine.

Just imagine how she's be if you worked near a Tourneau or BMW dealer.

Nice set up! What more do you need?!

 

[b_market]

I live about 30 mins from WCS and I'm afraid to go... I don't trust myself. Lol

When I started nearly two years ago, that's what I settled into pretty quickly: EJ89, Proraso white, and an Omega 49. I've tried lots of other razors, soaps, creams and brushes. But this is now my daily setup that I use 99% of the time. It works!

Nice setup, I just go done ordering all my stuff; I am afraid I went way to far to quickly.
